For a (perhaps) more up-to-date reference, check out:

"The Oaklisp Implementation Guide", Barak Pearlmutter & Kevin Lang,
Jan 15, 1990.

This manual, along with the sources to Oaklisp and "The Oaklisp
Langauge Manual", can be found at:

f.gp.cs.cmu.edu: /usr/bap/oak/ftpable/  [128.2.250.164]

Note that this site, along with most others at CMU, imposes a curious
restriction in that you can't specify '..' in paths.  You'll therefore
have to cd directly to the specified (no browsing 8-).

Also, I corresponded with Barak last month, and he mentioned that the
implementation of Oaklisp is also described in a chapter of "Topics in
Advanced Language Implementation" (ed. Peter Lee, MIT Press, 1990).

Good luck!
